This morning was spent planning my sets for the Linlithgow launch of The North End of the Possible on Saturday this week. I’m excited about this event, because it’s not only a chance to give an extended reading from the book but to work with the violin and electric guitar duo Holm. It’s not just that they’re providing a music for the evening, but they’re planning their sets to complement the poetry, so it’s something a wee bit more collaborative than normal.

If you’re interested in coming, the event is at 8 pm on Saturday 29 June in St Peter’s Episcopal Church, 153 High St, Linlithgow. It’s free, although donations to help us cover the use of the church would be welcome. Bring your own bottle, sit back and enjoy!
